To start with, pharma was an industry based on innovation, drug discovery.

I want to see one of my products being taken by people across the world. I want to see them improving and leading a better life. It's like playing God.

This is my life... I mean, maybe I have Rs 100 crore in the bank, sitting comfortably. If that increases to Rs 10,000 crore, what difference does it make to me.

My father used to administer herbal medicine for free. But I can't give drugs for free. So the next best thing is to give it at as low a price as possible.

There's a beauty to wisdom and experience that cannot be faked. It's impossible to be mature without having lived.

The first thing successful people do is view failure as a positive signal to success.

Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.

I'm so much more gratified by my life now that I have an expertise. I wake up every day thinking about a fairly small set of scientific questions all related to the psychology of achievement, and I'll never get bored of those questions. That's something I couldn't say to you when I was 22 or 25 or probably even 31.
